EAST INDIES. lihbßAs. e Frlß 14.—The following extracts from 'the Calcutta Mirror, of the `?St tilt. contain the last intelligence from the army in the field - : " Letters from head-quarters, the 15th Jan nary, convey the agreeable news that Sir Williatn G. heir has fallen in with Cheetoo's thirrah ; and cut thin, up in great style. Cheeton him Self made leis escdpe with abort a dozen followers, and threw himself into a small vill:uze near Jawad. It is said that Capt. Caulfield, who is with Juswant Row Bow, was going to surround the village, and seize the thief. " 'Major- General Brown, according to the same letter, surprised some of the r.fractory Chiefs of Holkar'k army, and rabble followers at ILatupoota, and cot them up. Itoshun Beg lost three o f hi s firigers in the fray; but contrived to make his escape. Three hundred of his followers were sabred, and a number of camels and horses taken. The surprise was complete, arid so as limished were the lelloWs, that they did not con nive to wound a•single man of oar's. It only re mains tiov; that we get hold Of the perfi lions Peishwa. The power of the Pindaries seems al most annihilated by one short and brilliant cam paign; and the subjugation of the States that protected them promises every security against their future der edations. " It is said,a good deal of booty falls to the army under Generals') . " W.' Keir.” " CAMP, NPAR 00C11A11, JAN: 15.—We had all _regarded hunting down the Pindaries as a Very }tapeless cask, but we haie just heard that Sir Wm Keir has completely . routed and dispersed that portion of them under Clieeetio." I cannot Jell you where, and muss confess myself extremely deficient in the knowledge of the'distributiou of our troovs ; but in this: respect I am not ()inch ‘sorse off than my neighbours here-- , 1 can pin cure no information from them. Cheetoo him self has barely escaped ; he has only about a dozen followers around him, and is within a few chss of , our troops. All ilicir'baggageis taken, and some say this ineludes no less than 50 laes of rupees. We fired a royal salute two days ago, on the rati fication of the Treaty with Holkar. " General Watson is now in command of this division, his own brigade is broke 'up, and incor porated with others ; the 26th regiment, one of his battalion, a re still encamped considerably to our left, but are almost quite well ; the 7th, the other battalion, is alongside of our brigade, which forms the left of the line. It was dysentery ; not the cholera, that appeared among thein, and is attributed to forced marches, ban water, ill-cook ed victuals, and want of warns clothing." MADRAS. FEB. 24.—The following details re specting the operations of our armies are given in the Calcutta Mirror:— " Our letter from Camp, since our last, con firm the account of the Antal destruction of the only unbroken durrah of Pindaries, under Cheetoo, who at the date of the latest . atcounts with only nine attendants, in the neighbourhood of Jowhud ; and as Captain Caulfield had set off in pursuit, some hope was entertained that his person wou ld be secured.. The remains of the dutrahs, 'under Wassol Mah'iuted and Khurretin Khan,have also, after severe! ineffectoal attempts' to escape, been nearly annihilated by the divisions tinder Geo. Marshall and Col. Adams ; and the rebellious part of Holkar's army have in all likelihood been dis persed hetore this time, as Colonel Adams had been ordered to march to .RatopoOr and attack Roshun Beg's troops, who were ,occupying a strong position in the neighbourhood of that place. This Chief's force is said to consist of se ven some thousand horses, and sixteen guns.; it is expected they will make great resist ance. The only Mahratta force that remains un broken is that under Ameer Khan's Sitdars, who, like those of the Nogpore Rajah, do not appear disposed to abide by the arrangements made by their Chief ; but as Sir David Ochterlony is said to have marched to attack dew, we may every day look for accounts of their defeat and submis sion ; and with these we nosy almost cori'ider the campaign on this side of India as at an end." " CAMP, NEAIi OOCH•AIt, JAN. 15.—Au officer and party of ours lett the camp this morning, as tin escort to an officer said to be bringing in the Treaty with Holkar, who is to soWdize 3,000 of our troops, which, it is reported, are to be ha.. nishod by B:Aigal, aml the number of his own is very considerably limited. His whole revenue is not to exceed I lacs of rupees. No further ac counts of the Peish wa or Nagpore Rajah. I have seen various private letters regarding the attack of the latter, aft of which represent it to have been a most desperate business on our part. A General Order was published yesterday, thanking Colonel Macmorine and the troops under his coin mand for their .gallant behaviour at Nagpore, or rather Serinaghur. General Brown, by-the-bye, has also been killing and slaying. lie had heard tint a body of Mahrattas, liolkar's people, were seeking safety in some village in his way. Several roads led front it. lie, posted on each of these a party of the 3d .cavalry, and made a (lash himself with another party at the village, and succeeded in cutting off the poor Oevils." " COLONEL ADAMS'S CAMP, JAN. 17.—0 n the 13th, Colonel Adams received intelligence that Khurreem , Khali was within seven cuss of the camp, and had at least 1000 men with him, upon which the Colonel detached Major Clarke, with the sth cavalry, at eleven o'clock at night, and .he very luckily came upon them by surprise at day break ; of course he cut op almost the whole of them. It turned out, that instead of 1000, there were 1600, and out of this number the Major gave a good account of nearly 1000. • The rest fled in all directions, and Colonel Adams has sent out some Rohillas ro intercept them. Among the slain was Namdar Elan, who was considered the very lite of the party. General Brown has come upon Roston) Beg (who was in rebellion against Holkar) at Rampobr, and token eleven guns, •be -sides considerable damage to the rest of his force. We hear also, that Sir William heir, With the B om b a y a rray, has tall - in with Cheetoo, and duri,;ll, nut, however, cot»pletely aunihilated without some 'resistance.

EXTRACT 01 , A LETTER FROM AN OFFICER IN SIR THOMAS HISLOP'S ARMY. " Camp, Mahidpoor, December 44. . - " MY bailLostst.,—My last letter to you was written at Nandeir, about the middle of Oc tober, and I promised to write again when I should have any thing interesting to tell you. I did not think at that time 1 should have it in my power .to give you an account of a regular battle with Holkat's army : a very decisive one, however, was fought upon this ground on the 21st instant. you will, no doubt, hear of the event before this reaches you ; but I may as well give you a few particular's, which I know you will consider interesting. We heard at pogein that liolkar's camp was stronely posted here; with a great many guns and intatory. We math: a march of 8 milts, which brought its within 16 miles of the position, when a \Take, after a good deal of correspondence, was sent to our camp. Great ohjectioos, however, were offered to all the proposals made, moler the instructions of the Governor-General ; and it was a lways alleged by the Mai, that 0 ) . 1 10 she wished for peace with the English, sonic of her chiefs and troops, who ware in a mutinous state, had resolved upon fighting. Six days of fruitless negociations ha vitig passed, we made another short march on the 20th, and at 10 o'clock in the morning of the 213' inst. we were in sight of the enemy's - position. Some shirwishing took place about this time between some of our light in fantry, and a few scattered parties of the enemy's horse ; and many still continued to believe that there would be no battle. As we approached nearer, however, a cannonade was opened upon us from the enemy's line, which 'was on the opposite side of the Sipparah river, and a dispo• sit ion was immediately made for crossing in their front. The whole of the fire of the cannon was immediately directed to the ford ; but the troops passed under cover of a few pieces of artillery, with little loss, considering the nat ure of the fire, which was extremely well-directed : -irolei:d, it is impossible that any gunvould have been better served than those of the enemy ; and the number of men that were killed and wounded in taking.them affords the most convincing proof that their Golundateze did their duty whit a ven geance--about 760 men having been killed and wounded,-and most of the enemy's artillery were killed at their The 4attle 4rcgan about half-past 12 o'clock. The gnus were traken, and the infantry dispersed, in the course of about two hours and a halt, and the whole of their army was driven off the field by tour o'clock, or a little atter. When the charge had continneO for about two miles and a half, the enemy (r i pened more eons upon us;- but these having been taken in flank by some of oar horse-artillery, were soon abandoned ; and there are now about 62 guns in our park, the fruits of the victory ; a few more are said to have been thrown into the river, but have not yet been found. Had the enemy's ca valry and infantry behaved like their artillery, the labours of the day would not have been finish ed so soon, nor, perhaps, so completely as has been the case ; but the former (the cavalry) did nothing, and the infantry deserted the artillery at the moment of need." FLANDERS MAIL. BRnssFAA, Rai . G.—They write from the Hague, that the plan of a new Civil Code will be laid to-day before the Council of State, and that his Majesty will preside in person at the dis- cussion. The 'Hanoverian troops, it is said, are going to erect in the field of Waterloo, at the very, place where they distinguished •themselves by their ex traordinary bravery, a monument which shall re cord to posterity their expl►►its on that memor able day ; the execution of this monument is con fided to a skilful artist ; 0:11 thousand franc• is th e sum to employed on it. Afterwards will come the Monument of our Sovereign, which will not be less distinguished than the others, and which will doubtless be pl►►ced at Quatre Bras,, the real place where the victory of the 18th was decided before-hand by the courage of the Belgians, under tl►e conduct of the valiant Prince of Orange. New barley has been sold in .our market, and wagers • are laid that new rye will,* brought in the next market. The.fields from which the bar ley has been carried were again ploughed, and some of. them already planted with potatoes. — The fields of French Flanders, Picardy, and• 11 rtois have uot for many years offered the prospect of so rich a harvest. The vineyards of Champagne , and Burgundy promise wines equal in quality . to 1602, and exceeding in quantity the produce of two common years. On the other hand the French manufactories are recovering, and the number of workmen increases daily. This happy result- is owing to the rigorous prohibition of English goods, the smuggling in of which is almost im possible.. The 100 Miles Match in 12 hours.--The mare, the property of Major YATES, won this match yesterday-morning an Epping fiats, es follows ; She went ten miles in the first hour, and 29, in three. Half the distance was performed in five iiours and 40 minutes. The m a re was fed, and she started to do the last 50 miles in six hours. She was kept steady at nine miles an hour, 411 d the match was aeon cleverly in t h ree minutes w i t hi n c l ue. It was for 20U guineas. LAW INTELLTGF,,NCt. `COURT OF KING'S - BENCH-1, Juth'§. London Sittings Apo. Tr 9.70/ Term, liEfor Mr. Jusiiie AE- BoTT, rtietl'S~itttal Juries. Riess "J. ituNTIII. Thit wa3 an action upon a policy of insurance on the ship Atalanta, at anti froht Corfu, Teki, Little Cephalonia, all or either during her stay there, and thence to Trieste. Interest admitted to be in the plaintiff, and loss averred to be by perils of the seas. Mr. TOl , rtio and Mr. CAMPBELL were for the plaintiff, and Mr. SCARLEi'T, Mr. GURNSY, and Mr. , CAlfFt, for the defendant.. The circumstances of the case were these The plaintiff resides at Great Yarmouth, and had chartered the Atalanta, a - mall - S loop, for the voyage in question. The 'policy was effected at Yarmouth on the 7th of February, 1817, the ship having sailed about the 20th of December from Corfu, upon her voyage, 'which, in the ordinary coarse of navigation in the• Adriatic, would not occupy more than five r w eeks. In the course of ; the.'voyage the vessel met With foul weather----all her crew were washed overboard, except .one ratan and a boy—she filled with water, and with the assistance of some fishernteu was taken into .the harbour of Venice, where she was left by the re mainder of her crew as a total wreck. It ap neared that the voyage from Trieste to England was about three weeks, and on the 12th of Fe hrtiary t h e news o f the loss arrived at Lloyd's, seven days after the,insorance was effected. Un der these circumstances the action was brought against the underwriters. Ott ihe, part of the defendant, the defence set up was, that the plAintitf was in possession of a material letter in the month of November, respect ing the time at which the ship was to commence her voyage, which he did not cononnnicate to the nutlet writers at the time the- insurance was ef fected. • Accordingly it was proved in evidence, that about the 19th of November, the plaintiff hail reccived e a letter from his Captain, dated the 26th of the preceding October, stating that he was to continence his voyage on the 28th of October, and stating, that the moment he got to Trieste, he should advise the plaintiff of his arrival. This letter wls not communicated to the underwriters until after the loss was known in England, nor had any communication been . received from the Captain after the letter in question. It was proved, that had this letter been communicated to the underwriters on the sth of February, no in surance cold have been effected, or, at lest, that it could not have been effected on the terms of the present policy. Mr. .litstice'AßßoTi Was olopinion, that the omission to - communicate thisletter was fatal to the plaintiff's claim ; and therefore the.plaintiff . s Counsel consented to be nohSuited. RANDAL AND OTHERS V CLARKE AND GREY. This was an action to recover the sum' ot 978 L 55.6 d. money paid, laid Out, and expended, to and for the use of the defendants. 'Mr. Scarlett, Mr. Richardson, and Mr.l.Vylde. were for the rdalistiffs,:tod Mr. i\farrynt, Mr. per ney, Mr. F. ° l'ollork. sprd :Or.'ibark, were for the defendants. The nisi of this case occupied a 'con siderable portion o f t h e d a y. The followiUg is an ontline of the case :—The plaintiff are merchants in Liondon; and the de fendants had formerly been in partnership as Blackwell-hall Factors. The defendant, Mr. Gauntlet Clarke, bad in the year 1812 been in partnership with a Gentleman named IVliitehead, which partnership was dissolved at the end of that year. For souse time atter this,Mr.Clarke continued to carry on business on his own separate account, and in the month of June be commenced a part• nership with the other defendant, a Gentleman of fortune, residing at Chtheuham, whose siame was not to he pot forward in the concerts. By the terms of the partnership agreement, each party was to bring into the firm, as a joint capital. the sum of 10,0001. .Mr. Grey to bring in his money within a month from the date of the agreement, and Mr. Clarke his quota at the end of the year. Each was to have 5 per cent. for his money, be sides a - participation in the profits ; but for the first year, Mr. Clarke was to pay all the losses and expences of the concern, besides the sum of one thousand pounds to Mr. Grey, clear of all risk. At the time when this partnership commenced, Mr. Clarke had had considerable dealings in accommodation bills with the plaintiffs, and other persons ; and also during his partner ship with Mr. Whitehead he had been in the habit of raisin; money by accommodation paper. This practice had likewise continued instil and after the dissolution of Iris partnership with Mr. Grey. It appeared, that during his partnership with the latter, the plaintiff's had accommodated him wi:h two accep:anees4 the one for 500/. and the other fur 4781. which they had taken , un . , and the present action was brought to recover the money lent and advanced by them to. take up those bills; and the question was, whether the money so advanced, was advanced for the, part nership's use. '1 he bills in question. were drawn in the name of Gauntlet - Clarke, and the . only question in the case was, whether Mr. Grey was liable for the money so advanced, as a general partner, after Mr. Clarke •Inid become batik-' rapt. On the part of the defendant Mr. Grey's evi dence was produced,' for the purpose of spewing that Mr. Clarke had tint Complied with the terms. of his partnership agreement, by advancing the stipulated capital of 10,0001., and that the bills in question, with others,• had beets drawn for the purpose of performing his agreement and upbo this evidence it WaS contended that Mr; Grey was not liable for the money advanced by the plaintiffs.
